This essay is inspired by the latest message from the citizen movement AVAAZ, certainly the most remarkable movement of its kind ever to have emerged. Avaaz has over 65 million members worldwide, and it is this sheer mass that gives it the clout it has. Personally, I think anyo...2022-01-0807 min

Unlimited Hangout with Whitney WebbThe “New Deals” of the Ruling Class with Cory MorningstarWhitney is joined by Cory Morningstar to discuss the renewed push for a "Global Green New Deal" and the complementary "New Deal for Nature" and how both aim to market the corporate capture of nature as "sustainable development" to the public. Also discussed is how the complete reinvention of the global financial system is central to both "deals" and how the top central and Wall Street banks are intimately involved in these efforts.

On the MediaThe Covid Conspiracy Boom on FacebookDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, Facebook has taken a public stance against bogus health claims that discourage people from taking proper precautions against the virus.

The conspiracies circulating on Facebook can be fatal — some of them suggest ingesting poisonous substances, while others tell people not to wear masks or to shun vaccines...2020-08-1919 min
